The Red Coat Mercenary Company (RCM)
Formed just over ten years ago by a former Guard Captain, the Red Coat Mercenary Company is made up of former soldiers who decide that the money is just not good enough. Priding itself on good pay, lots of loot and being incredibly reliable and disciplined. Only a small band were selected to act as protection for the new colony. With so little known about the new world the price was good however the risk was so high that it was not viable to take the entire contract. Allowing for other mercenaries to be present.
Uniform of the RCM:
Profession: Mercenary Captain
Social Ranking: In charge of the Red Coat Mercenary Band deployed to the colony. As well as that has authority over an average colonist.
Talents: An adept swordsmen, from years of practice and experience. He also is physically very fit and knows how to led and organise men.
Personality: I prefer to RP this.
Recent history: As an officer in the RCM he was selected from a group of volunteers to lead the small band of RCM mercenaries deployed to the colony. Before the RCM he was a member of the Trade Republic of Bresiroth's army however he was discharged after disobeying orders that would have led to the death of his entire band of men. The RCM took him on and instilled true discipline I him, as well as giving him an opportunity to prove his worth on a battlefield again.
Profession: Engineer
Social Ranking: Head Engineer
Talents: A crack engineer and even better gunsmith, his skill lay in building and innovation. He is also a large proponent of lighter-than-air travel.
Personality: Cunning, clever, and daring. Hirion is able to think is way out of anything and often comes up with plans to get materials he needs. However, this is balanced with caring and selflessness, his work is often used to better help others and try to prevent needless death.
Recent history: Hirion was until recently a thriving inventor however after an incident where one of his latest inventions caused great embarrassment to a King he fled. He would drift for awhile making watches and guns until he decided he needed a fresh start. Contacting the colonial expedition he showed them his credentials and was quickly excepted in to the crew.
Profession: Prince/Ambassador
Social Ranking: Higher than a villager, but despite his skills with a sword and the fact that he's mostly there as an envoy, people might look at him as a 'spoiled brat' because of his royal background.
Talents: Sword fighting and knowing which utensil to use when at fancy dinners.
Personality: Positive, loyal and outgoing, Tristan could easily be compared to a golden retriever. He always tries to give everyone – and everything - the chance to prove that there's some good in each living being. Though seemingly naive, he often intentionally exaggerate those traits. He's noticed that people are often much easier to handle when they think he's stupid and gullible.
Recent history: With five elder siblings all doing something productive with their lives, Tristan was pleased when his lord father informed him that he was to be sent as an ambassador to the new colony, despite the dangers this would surely put him in.
Athletic build, standing at 5'9 at 150 lbs.
Profession: Explorer
Social Ranking: Lower than a Mercenary, but still higher than a villager. Probably looked down upon by the mercs, possibly percieved as weak, or foolish to want to explore the new world.
Talents: Survival Skills. Strong instinct. Strong sense of direction. Has the many skills necessary to traverse a diverse land.
Personality: Very adventurous, and can be a little rash, but not without credit. Chris can usually pull off whatever otherwise 'crazy' claim he makes. Not afraid of anything, or anyone, and jumps at the chance to see or experience something new. Otherwise, Chris is a pleasant, and very interesting man to speak to. He seems easily excitable, but keeps a cool head through most situations.
Recent history: Chris spent his youth travelling with his merchant father, and has spent time in almost all the provinces and lands of Maltha. Has spent most of his adult life (17-present) travelling and exploring the wilderness of Maltha. When he heard about the chance to see what no man had seen before, he jumped at the chance for adventure.
